Building a Grown-Up Relationship (Without Losing Yourself): Partnership, Receiving Support, and All the Messy Bits

Description

Let’s get real about relationships, especially when you’ve got a messy resume of codependency, ADHD quirks, and a deep aversion to letting anyone in. This week, Kimberly invites her partner Anthony onto the pod for his first ever podcast episode - no performances, just an honest dive into what it actually looks like to build an equal partnership when you’ve spent decades over-giving and second-guessing yourself.

We talk about the awkwardness of learning to receive support (“It has been hard to settle into in some ways to allow...receiving support, receiving help from you in particular.”), how not to lose yourself when there’s finally someone in your corner, and why being honest is actually terrifying but essential when you’ve been burned in the past. Expect zero five-step-formulas, 100% real moments, and enough side stories about exes and dating apps to keep things relatable.

Oh, and there’s plenty of behind-the-scenes: from running a business together (hint: Kimberly’s the hype woman, Anthony’s the camera guy), to navigating ADHD, to what it’s like to be with a literal Green Beret (“It’s hot as fuck. And I love it. And I have to hold myself back from telling everybody all the time...”).

Ready to get honest about your own relationships - or finally figure out what it means to actually receive support? Kimberly’s taking on a few 1:1 clients. Get the details and book a consultation at www.kimberlymathis.com, or DM her on Instagram @heykimberlymathis.

And if you need a killer photographer (sports, weddings, brands, you name it), Anthony’s your guy: www.tkx-photography.com.

No filters, no faking - just honest partnership talk, business building, and the messy, hopeful stuff in between.
